Eagles books

[zeldabjr]

I just ordered it this afternoon...just had to have it..

Last night, I read the Eagles-related bits in "The Mansion on the Hill: Dylan, Young, Geffen, Springsteen and the Head-on Collision of Rock and Commerce," by Fred Goodman. I have concerns about the author's fact-checking. He tells about the near-bust in the Bahamas airport and claims that "Paul McCartney's recent bust in Japan" for pot possession was on Azoff's mind. If so, then Azoff is a gifted psychic, as McCartney's Japan bust was in 1980. The Eagles' Caribbean adventure was in the 1970s, from the look of the footage in HOTE.

I got the Marc Eliot book checked out from the library today. I'll start reading it asap. I still haven't looked for the other books, nor bought the "hooker" book yet.

ETA: I went ahead and bought "You'll Never Make Love in this Town Again" on Amazon. There's several used copies for only 1 penny, so I couldn't resist the temptation. . My explanation will be plain and simple. "It's a book the contains a bit of info into the personal lives of 2 of the Eagles members, among others". That's a buy-able explanation, right?

I finished To The limit last night.I knew almost everything in the book already, but it was an enjoyable read, despite the factual errors. I'd say it's a good biography of the band, for the most part. I wished that it wasn't so Henley-centered, though. (I know why he's the main focal point).

I recently read Andrew Vaughn's The Eagles FAQ: All That's Left To Know About Rock's Superstars. I held a highlighter in one hand as I eagerly looked forward to marking each passage filled with all the interesting new things I would surely learn from an author making such a claim. I regret that I must report to you that the highlighter was never opened.
I read a lot of incidental information about the business, the era, and the
locale-too much of that, really-but nothing really new about the boys. I guess maybe I've already read too much to be very surprised by this, but it was still a little disappointing. So...Meh. (I really don't like to be so negative, so let me say that if you are a new fan, there is probably something to be gained from reading this book.)
And again, the same problem for us TBS fans-not near as much in the way of interesting info on Timothy as we always get about the rest of the line-up. (In the FAQ book, even his discography is incomplete.)

You're a fast reader. I thought the interviews with Henley were strangely revealing - as if someone had given him sodium pentathol, as others have remarked.

Onto the hooker book! I can barely remember it, but I think Glenn came off quite well, considering.

When I become interested in a book, I find them hard to put down.
Lol, I agree with that comment about the Henley interviews! Knowing Amazon, they'll make me wait 2 weeks for the book to arrive! I don't have the patience for that!

[AlreadyGone95]

Well, the hooker book arrived today. I only read Glenn's chapter (probably the only chapter I'll read). I think that I'll be in daydream land for a little while.

This could get dangerous I was concerned it could be a bad influence on ya! Now you're really frey'd.

. The more Frey'd the better. I'm not sayin' anything about the "influence". .
